Liked: nothing- unless the purpose of your trip is to get an STD

Disliked: You had to pay an extra 5 euros per night for air conditioning. What a rip off! And don't think about not getting it - the huts are too hot/humid to even think about sleeping without it on. When we got in the room, the bed sheets were dirty, and the mattress had so many stains. I ended up getting bed bugs and had to sleep with my boyfriend in his single bed. The rooms were small. There was no soap in the bathrooms! The bar and restaurant were overpriced and served terrible food. Overall awful experience. Go to purple pig down the street - way cleaner and better staff!!!

Liked: Fantastic atmosphere. Right out front of the beach. Amazing sunset views from the room. Rooms are big, clean, new, comfortable. Far out has everything you need, mini mart, bar, cafe, restaurant, laundry services, pool etc. we stayed twice on our trip the first in the busiest part of the season and the second at the end of season and both times were lovely but completely different. Free transfer from port to far out.

Disliked: Have to pay for air con and wifi is terrible.

Liked: Location was great, value for money was incredible - it was well worth paying slightly more to stay in the apartments rather than the bungalows.

Disliked: There wasn't a huge range of food available at Far Out - if that was improved you literally wouldn't need to leave the beach club for your entire stay in Ios - except to head over to the bars at night!

Customer review

Liked: amazing place to stay right on the beach, food was so good and well priced. Staff were very friendly! Rooms were nice and clean.

Disliked: Laundry was very very expensive to get done, they made us pay to use the aircon per day in our room! when we arrived people in our room had not checked out we then had to wait a few hours until it was sorted which I thought was unfair and they should of just taken the stuff out of the room and not made us wait as we had paid to stay there

Liked: Room was lovely, really good location on an amazing beach! Pool area is unreal for a hostel and very easy to get into the centre where there are loads of bars and restaurants. Imagine its a really fun place to stay in the busy season!

Disliked: Pool bar is advertised as backpacker prices but it is overpriced, as is the mini market. Lots of hidden costs involved. Had to pay extra for air con and no safe in the room.

Liked: It was a nice place to stay, nice staff and very close to the beach

Disliked: The air con is 5e a night which is way too much and you definately need it becasue it gets really hot, the laundry service is 3.50e a kg which is again way too much!!! I would be great if there were a kitchen there too.

Liked: I stayed in a bungalow and it was really good. Very secure, close to the beach, pool, restaurant and mini market. (definitely recommend this over the tents!!) Some of the staff were awesome! Don't know her name, but the local girl who runs things from the bar to the beach all day is awesome and great at her job! I've loved farout, would definitely stay here again! Keen to see this place in full swing of peak season when both pools are open and they have parties! Also location wise, right on beautiful mylopotas beach and on a strip that has an awesome Thai restaurant (Delphini)!

Disliked: The shared bathrooms weren't always the cleanest and sometimes out of toilet paper. The bungalow, being a bungalow meant it wasn't too hard for bugs to get in...mostly ants and spiders....but it was completely manageable and didn't hinder my stay.
Was a shame I came towards end of peak season as the main pool and party area were closed. The other pools were nice though!

Liked: The pool and bar facilities were amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed Nicko the bar tender in the bar where the sushi bar is. The surrounding restaurants were amazing.

Disliked: The bathrooms weren't at the best standards. Lights in the shower didnt work and the bathrooms smelt.

Liked: It has a lovely restaurant and is across the road from the beach. Also the bus into town stops right outside.

Disliked: The bed tent became very dirty and dusty as there were trees overhead which came in through the tent netting. It's a bit of a hike to return to your tent during the day so make sure you've got everything before you head down to the beach.

Liked: The daily pool parties BOUNCE... Far Out is located in a beautiful bay with a great beach and close to the nightlife. Bungalows are great, avoid the tents.

Liked: this place has an amazing pool and really good rooms. The beach is just over the road and food and alcohol is really well priced.
It is a party place although we stayed in the hotel part and it was perfect as we could go and party but then it was pretty quiet in the rooms.

Liked: When we got to the island they told us we were upgraded to the hotel and spa. The hotel is gorgeous and clean however it's not right by the beach. I'm pretty sure the 'upgrade' is so the hotel can be full of guests as well as the beach club. We were upset at first but realized that the hotel is great and a better walking distance from the clubs.

Liked: Far Out beach club is beautiful. There are so many places to lounge around either by the pool or the beach. You see the same people around the whole time so its easy to meet everyone who's staying there- especially at the restaurant. Our rooms were cheaper on hostel bookers than if you booked directly through Far Out! we loved it =)

Disliked: Far Out beach club is a bit of a way from the town- so you either need to walk into town or catch the local buses. This can be a little annoying especially after a night out when you just want to be in your bed!
